K-3 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Police Certificate from Pakistan required for K3	Saeedeh I need it for Karachi only. Ill post it there too. Thanks! After a long long wait our K3 was approved and we were sent packet 3. Unfortunately for me not to anticipate this but I now have to get a Police Certificate for places lived since I was 16. That includes Pakistan but I was told by the Pakistani Consulate that it may take 2 to 4 months even 6 to get the Police Certificate! I have had them start the process. But is there anyone who has any suggestions or advise regarding how I can speed things up?? Any advise will be really appreciated. Thanks, FaK Which cities do you need the police certificate from? My husband got almost all of his days in a matter of days-it usually doesnt take that long. Where are you right now. Plus if you post in the thread for Islamabad-a lot more people who have been through this will be able to help you! Yeah my husband got two police certificates from Karachi-just go to your district police station and they will probably give you some forms to fill out and all. It shouldnt take more than 2 weeks. Are you in Karachi right now?	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-08-07 11:26:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Interview Dates from Islamabad?!	Hey everyone! Hope everything is fine with you all. I applied to sponsor my husband last year from the embassy at Islamabad. Our I-130 was approved within the six month period they had specified. And to complete the rest of the paperwork which required domicile-I moved back to the US in March this year. He sent packet 3.5 to the embassy about 10 days ago. It says that they usually review the papers for two-three weeks and set up in interview within the next few days. Is that true? Does anyone have any idea how much longer I will need to wait before he gets here? What about administrative review? Does everyone have to go through that. I would love to hear about anyones experience with this. The wait is a real killer! Thanks in advance, Regards Saeedeh	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-06-03 23:59:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Hey everyone I applied for a CR-1 immigration visa for my husband. I wanted to know can he start looking for a job immediately when he comes to the US or will he need to wait for the green card to come in? We are still on security checks. Thanks Saeedeh	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2008-01-10 03:12:00

So, perhaps, anyone who is been waiting for a year or so will have to do these forms again. I hope this is it because, as you can imagine, my wife and I are just so tired of it. QUOTE (MaryandMian @ Nov 6 2007, 07:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (nair1 @ Nov 6 2007, 02:22 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi Folks, As many of you know that I have been on AP since April of last year. Now they are asking me to resubmit forms DS-230, both Part I and Part II. Has this happened to anybody before? Have you heard of it? Please give me your input. Thanks. Yes this is new and you have to resubmit the forms. They have been revised since you filled them out the year before. PAIN07 CR-1/IR-1 contacted me a few months back since they were asking for this and told me the forms had been revised. I informed him to resubmit them and it asked for more specific facts and to make sure that he addressed all the questions. Sure enough after some time his visa was ajudicated and I updated the list for the forums. Please do what they ask and inshallah you will have your visa shortly. Mary Hey Nair1 I can imagine how tired u guys are of it! Me and my husband are in the same boat. We have also been on AP for over a year-its so frustrating I hope u hear some good news soon! Send the requested papers asap before somethin else comes up! Best wishes Saeedeh	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2007-11-07 08:12:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Hi It seems that embassy is not sleeping anymore. My friend got his visa on last tuesday.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	I emailed the embassy asking if they can move the interview date up to an earlier date, and that I have all the docs ready and complete. In response, they asked for a case # to refer to. I just sent a general email, and didn't specify my detailed info. I was afraid to respond, because the last thing I want to do is to irritate the embassy people. Is it possible to lose your spot if they try to reassign a different date? Any thoughts??? A wise man told me once not to push my luck, but I am trying to get some new advice, and seek out anyone who may have tried this type of attempt. hey zeyad no harm in emailing the embassy over and over again i emailed them almost every 10 days to get our interview date changed..even though they said its not possible-i would just email again to ask if they would change their minds-and they did. it really depends on if they can accommodate you in another time-slot. you should give them your detailed info because they cannot do anything without it and why you want to get it changed. its always worth a shot-u wont lose anything..so definitely try! take care n good luck! Saedah, How far did they move it. and during the interview was there any signs of frustration cause you moved it. I talked with my wife about this, and she fears that they may react and move it out even further thinking that we are impatient. I still think that there is nothing to lose, since they already have designated a spot for her. zeyad the interview was going to be in mid nov and they changed it to mid sept no they were not annoyed at all...i asked them so many times.trust me i emailed them almost every 10 days to ask if there was any way possible-and i would appreciate their help...and one day i got lucky and they cnahged the date the prob dont even remember during the interview abt changing dates since they never even mentioned it also...they only change it if they can accomodate u-so they wont be doing u any favors by changing the date.. they cant just get mad at someone for asking.they work there and it is their job to serve ppl... goood luckkkk!	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2007-05-31 08:48:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Does Islamabad embassy provide list of "Panel doctors" where my wife can go for medical exam? Does she has to wait for packet from islamabad or she can go now and have medical exam? Anybody knows list of panel Dr. in Lahore? Thanks, Data Sheet Hello Data Sheet I have a packet 3.5-but I got it a year and a half ago. It shows that in Lahore-there is Doctors Hospital & Medical Center The doctors are Dr. Amer Ikram and Dr. Talat Shah Phone Number: 5302701-14 (14 lines) and also there is Masood Hospital Doctors there are Dr. Hassan Masood Khan and Dr. Romaana Masood Phone number is 111-627-663, 5882481-2 or 5881961-3 u might want to have your wife call and make sure these doctors are still doing the tests. In packet 3.5 it says that you need to show a letter from the US embassy at the doctors office showing the visa category etc. They usually give the test results back within a few days. I would think its better for her to wait till she gets the packet-you dont want medicals to expire (I think they expire after a year!) Good luck and congrats on the upcoming birth of your first child!	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2007-05-09 22:55:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	It is hard to get somebody on a phone over there. I try almost every night before I go to sleep, and my wife is in Pakistan tries all day and you just hear the recording. I have emailed them and they have reply me that our case in under "screening" which I think thier interanl term for name checking. Now, they are not even replying on emails. All we can do just pray with the belief that patience bears the good fruit. do u call the embassy or DOS? embassy usually replies in a few days-its no use calling because they dont tell anything.. DOS is the best place to call...	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2007-04-25 15:03:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Hey everyone! Hope everyones doin great! I was wondering that after my husband gets his green card (I am assuming he will get that when we arrive in the US since we've been married for over 2 years), when can he travel back to Pakistan? I have heard rumours that he won't be able to travel for 5 yrs-but I dont think that is true. Could anyone who has received the green card or knows anything let me know! Thanks a bunch:)	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-11-27 08:26:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Hello everybody, I am planning on visiting Lahore, Pakistan in February. Was wondering about getting a visa for Pakistan. Does anybody know a good agency I can trust to get my visa? Or did you send your passport directly to the embassy of Pakistan in washington? I am kind of nervous about sending my passport in the mail. When I got my visa in Feb 06, I visited the Houston Counsulate asked questions, but thought since I would be in Chicago prior to leaving, I would apply there. Well, the Chicago Counsulate wouldn't accept my papers because I wasn't a resident of the states they service so I ended up overnighting with postage paid return evelopes per their instructions through the USPS ONLY everything to Houston where they processed it and returned it in a timely manner with a visa. So it depends on where you live on where you should send it. Yes, it is nerveracking having the postal system take your passport, but the tracking numbers helped me watch it's progress as well as calm my fears of it being lost. Can anybody also tell me about Lahore airport? Is it a good airport? Did you have any problems with customs? Do they speak english at the airport? I am nervous about going becouse this is only my second time out of the u.s.a and my first time going to Pakistan. I would appreciate any info that anybody might have. Thanks Yes, they do speak English at the airports. I've only come and gone through ISB. I wasn't bringing through a large amount of stuff- just normal luggage for a 3 month stay. Compared with others who were arriving with large bags and plenty of luggage, I wasn't looked at or stopped. I just walked out to be greeted by my sweetie at 11 pm which wasn't as bad as arriving at 4 am the previous trip. Good Luck. Thank you for responding. I am in Alaska so not sure where i would apply for Pakistan visa. I assumed all visas were processed in Washington. Maybe i will just have to go through one of those agencies online. hello check out the embassy of pakistan in washington website dont worry about losing ur passport send it through fedex with a return envelope as well i sent my passport to the washington embassy directly and had no problems plus lahore airport has become really nice-insha allah u will have no problem at all! good luck:)	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-11-17 07:31:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Saeedeh, You mentioned about e-mailing embassy. How good they are at replying? Are their replies helpful and case-specific? or do they just send standard replies? Embassy usually replies asap. Depending on the question-they can give standard or case replies. Make sure you write your case number with every email you send though. I had directly filed my petition at Islamabad-so they are my only point of contact. I don't contact NVC or anybody else. Take care!	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-08-21 09:14:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Hey everybody Hope all are doing well! I emailed embassy again last night and wondered if there was any earlier date available. They now have finally agreed to give me a shot and asked me to send a signed written request with valid reasons for an early date. What could these reasons be? Please help me out here. I hope this means they will try to change the date. It seems like it. Hopefully. Thanks in advance! Saeedeh Thanks for replying michigan and shon the thing is i dont have a medical condition i am just requesting since i am living her alone-all my family and everybody is back home what could be valid reasons? I suggest 3 things... 1.. check the waiver forum see if any of those things apply for you. I know you dont need a waiver but its just for ideas. not all reasons have to be medical.. 2.. talk to your attorney for ideas.. 3.. talk to you congressman and/ or sentator for ideas. good luck.. i dont have an attorney or anything. anyway i write out my letter tonight and send it hopefully we can get an earlier date	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-08-16 12:02:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	Hey everybody Hope all are doing well! I emailed embassy again last night and wondered if there was any earlier date available.

I hope this means they will try to change the date. It seems like it. Hopefully. Thanks in advance! Saeedeh	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-08-16 07:53:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Calling everyone going thru Islamabad Embassy, version 2.0	[quote name='saeedeh' post='361780' date='Aug 7 2006, 09:10 PM'] Hey Everyone:) Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend My husband's interview is in November. As we all know, Pakistani males are put on AR/AP for sure. I plan to go back right after my husband has his interview- I wonder if that will cause any problem later on during the AR/AP. Does anyone have experience with this? I will not have any apartment lease once I leave. I will have my friends mailing address-which is the same place I am staying right now-as well as my bank accounts-and voters registration record. I already have a co-sponsor since when I was sending packet 3.5, I did not have a job. Just wanted advise on whether anyone sees if it will be a problem or not. Thanks for all your guys help:) Have a great day! [/quote] make an effert to contact your congressman see if you can get your date moved up sooner.. good luck.. [/quote] Hey Shon -yeah I already contacted congressman-embassy told him they have too many cases already and are understaffed-so cannot changed date. So I want to go stay a few months with him after the interview-or till whenever he gets the visa...was just wondering if it will be a problem..(see the above post for details) thanks to all who replied:) Take care and enjoy!!!!	saeedeh	Female	Pakistan	2006-08-09 08:22:00
